Cheap at twice the price  25 is the most anybody should be paying in the second division.

Any game I have been in in France has been comparatively cheap. Outside the traditional heartlands, there isn't a huge appetite for supporting a team, unless they are winning. The French mentality is strange. I was there during the World Cup in '98 and well the media and documentaries talk about a country coming together behind a team that represented modern France, the reality was at best apathy and at times genuine anger, particularly after scraping by Paraguay.
I took the victory against Croatia and the injustice against Blanc, for the nation to truly get behind them.
Look at PSG's crowds sure! If they win the CL the Champs Élysées will be thronged, but they won't fill the Parc des Princes for your average league match. In St.Etienne, Marseilles and Lens they will always have support, Rennes, Nantes, Montpellier and Lille to a lesser extent, after that it is entirely dependent on success.

£48 for Spurs v Man U in Wembley. The cheapest were £38 I believe.

The new stadium is still in Brentford albeit Kew is just across the bridge from it. All going to plan it'll be ready in December 2019 when no doubt as you said ticket prices will go up.

And Wembley mid week is a horrible experience  That's good value when compared to Arsenal v Man Utd. Just checked the spurs website   For games against the top 6 the prices go from £35 to £75 for Adult tickets. For the middle teams (Everton, Newcastle etc) its £30 to £55 For the rest (Stoke, West Brom) its £20 to £45 Besides the top 6 they really should have dropped the pricing for the other teams by £10 for each level. None of them have been close to selling out. Well if they charge on average 40 quid and they get 60,000 people at it they get 2.4m. If they charge on average 30 quid they would need 80,000 in to take in that money at the gate Would they get 20,000 extra by charging 10 quid less.
